    Everybody pretending like they live in a swing state. A handful of states and about 10% of the population are going to determine the president while the 90% of us scream into the void

      I had some redditor with serious voter brainworms tell me last cycle I had to vote for Biden despite living in a Dem stronghold because it would somehow make it harder for Trump to rig the election? Like if the election is rigged I’m just gonna vote for La Riva so I can sleep at night, thanks.

        I think the logic there is “look at how many more votes Biden got, he clearly won” as if the nationwide vote count means literally anything.

            And i also remember when Al Gore became president and didn’t invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Or maybe it was Kerry and continuation of both wars. Seriously USA politics is so interchangeable and repeatable that names and dates blurs as fuck.
